Head over to
Hambo Hoedown and check out the school themed primary color challenge that's going on right now. It's a progressive challenge and if you play along this week using a Hambo image then you receive a free image next week. I was the Queen of the Hambo Hoedown for this past week! Very exciting. Then of course hubby saw the badge with that cute little piggy on it and just had to make a snide comment about the pig and me being the queen.....you get the drift I'm sure. Not funny! LOL!
This week we received an image of a pencil. I kept thinking of all sorts of projects I could do with this - an altered pencil box or can, a notebook, card, etc.....I finally combined a couple of things - a card type front with a Post It note on the inside to "jot it down" - and kept it VERY clean and simple looking. I thought this would be great for someone in school to keep on their desk to write notes on.
The inside is pretty boring to say the least. I may have to re-do that and jazz it up a bit.
I printed out the pencil image several times in different sizes, colored them in Copics and Prisma pencils, and then cut them out. "Jot it Down" is computer generated. The card stock is from SU and the DP is from Paper Patch. Anyway, I think it will be cute and useful to sit on a desk.
I'll enter this in a couple of "back to school" challenges:
Party Time Tuesdays and
Creative Inspirations Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by..............and have a great weekend!
(I'll try to have another Funny Friday next week!)
